The singer, who has been suffering from ongoing voice problems, is set to take the rest of the year off to recover from surgery.

Her record label XL issued a strong denial after fans started to speculate that she had throat cancer.

It said in a statement: ‘We would like to reiterate that Adele is to undergo surgery for a hemorrhaged vocal chord. All reports regarding any other condition are 100% false.”

Adele had been due to perform in Wolverhampton, Blackpool, Bournemouth, Cardiff and Plymouth from November 7th â shows that had already been rescheduled from October due to a serious cold and chest infection that plagued the vocalist recently.

The star pulled out of her entire US tour earlier in October after being diagnosed with a vocal cord haemorrhage.

All ticket holders for the UK concerts will be entitled to a full refund.
